Good morning to all Qatar Living Users,
This is my first question in Qatar Living and will hope a better response from all QL users as usual…

Question:
My wife got a job offer of Procurement Engineer with the salary of 7500 QR (7000 Basic + 500 Allowance) in EPC Contracting Company in Qatar. She is having total 4 yrs of working experience in Oil & Gas sector at India as a procurement engineer. Company denied to include HRA, Transportation, Airfare and Medical in total salary by stating that she is on husband sponsorship.

So, please advise us that we should accept above offer or not. Your prompt reply is highly appreciable.

Please keep in mind that jobs in EPC Contracting Companies are much demanding..extra hours...weekend works.. always under pressure.. difficult for the ladies !!

It's okay with pure Oil & Gas Company but with the Contractor.. I would say a big NO !!

Money does not matter everytime but the personal life.

Oh yes, she should accept the offer considering her years of experience in OIL & GAS sector..

I've worked with the recruitment agency few years back which deals with the hiring of people in OIL & GAS field..The salary offered to her is acceptable..

It's a good opportunity..Don't allow it to go out from your hand...Your wife will grow grdually in terms of package at later stage depending on her work performance..Let her ENTER first..

ALL the best..

Salary seems to be good, as she is staying with husband sponsorship she will not get HRA this is standard practice in Qatar, and also looking at 4 years of experience, salary seems to be okay.
